Among his campaign promises, Trump has vowed to launch the largest deportation program in U.S. history. According to the AP-NORC poll, targeted deportations of immigrants who have been convicted of a crime would be popular among U.S. adults, even if they involved immigrants who are in the country legally.
The poll found that about eight in 10 U.S. adults favor deporting all immigrants living in the U.S. illegally who have been convicted of a violent crime – including about two-thirds who are strongly in favor – and about seven in 10 support deporting all immigrants living in the U.S. legally who have been convicted of a violent crime. Yet, only four in 10 of U.S. adults are in support of deporting immigrants who are in the country illegally and have not been convicted of a crime, according to the survey.
Trump has also proposed sweeping tariffs on foreign goods imported into the United States, and the transition team reportedly has been working on a gradual roll-out plan aimed at off-setting the potential of inflation rising as a result.
Almost half of U.S. adults "somewhat" or "strongly" oppose imposing a tariff, also referred to as an import tax, on all goods brought into the U.S. from other countries, according to the AP-NORC poll.
The poll found that about three in 10 are in favor, and about one-quarter are neutral, saying they neither favor nor oppose this policy. The AP assesses that opinion could move in either direction if the tariffs are implemented.
Republicans are much likelier than Democrats and independents to support broad tariffs, but about four in 10 are either opposed or unsure. Just over half of Republicans favor imposing a tariff on all goods brought into the U.S.

A federal judge in Kentucky recently rejected the Biden administration’s attempt to redefine sex in Title IX as "gender identity," blocking the change nationwide.
The AP-NORC poll categorized Biden's Title IX rewrite as promoting discrimination "protections" for transgender or LGBTQ+ students, but the Trump campaign has highlighted stories from women and girl athletes who have spoken out about losing scholarship opportunities and feeling uncomfortable and unsafe when forced to compete against, or change in locker rooms with, biological males identifying as female.
The survey found opposition is higher than support "for eliminating protections for transgender students" under Title IX, the federal law that prohibits any high school or college that receives federal funds from discriminating on the basis of gender.
Almost half of U.S. adults "somewhat" or "strongly" oppose getting rid of these protections, while about three in 10 are in favor, and the rest are neutral, according to the survey.
Trump pressured lawmakers to raise or eliminate the national debt ceiling at the end of last year as Congress scrambled to reach a spending deal that averted a government shutdown.
The poll found that about half of U.S. adults oppose eliminating the debt ceiling, while about one-quarter are in favor, and about three in 10 are neutral, signaling there could be room for public opinion to shift.
Democrats are only slightly more likely than Republicans to oppose getting rid of the debt ceiling, according to the survey.

Trump has also pushed for tax cuts for Americans, and notably coined the campaign slogan "No tax on tips." The poll found that just over half of U.S. adults favor eliminating taxes on earnings from tips.
